Hey all,

So with my delivery from Japan came the last instalment of the Japanese Build your own McLaren so I thought I'd post the pics of the mag as it may answer so questions about the decals etc.

Please if you have any Q's ask me I don't mind trying to find out from the magazines I've got, but as for specifics my Japanese isn't that good LOL

Here we go -























Sorry about the un-steady hand for some of the photos!
As you can see there is instructions for clear coating the model in there aswell... I know some of you have been asking.

The Plank!LOL

The amount of masking required looks like it's going to be a bit intensive!
Better make sure it's all done properly other wise a year and a halfs work gone in the final stepBlink

That part where you have to spray things looks a bit of hassle. Does this mean we have to clear coat the whole car? Why just the wings and a few little bits?
